Ford Planning To Produce 800,000 Turbo Charged Vehicles.

Ford is making a huge leap in the hybrid market, but that’s not the only place they’re leaving traces of Ford greatness. Next year Ford is set to produce over 800,000 turbo charged cars that use Ecoboost technology such as the Fusion.

The Detroit News writes:


Ford has said for years — ever since the launch of its EcoBoost 3.5-liter V6 in 2009 — that it planned by 2013 to make 90 percent of its North American lineup available with EcoBoost, which is a marriage of turbocharging, direct-injection and twin independent variable camshaft timing.

The plan is taking full effect this year, particularly with high-volume vehicles like Fusion and Escape. The technology has already been a success on the F-150; Ford has sold more than 200,000 F-150s with EcoBoost engines in 18 months.
